“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] All action consists of change, for otherwise there would be a static universe, and indeed death would then be the end. [...]

[...] It therefore tells all of the citizens — or cells of the body — to mobilize for action, to be on the alert, to pare down all but necessary activities, and so forth.

[...] In fact it is a stage clearing the way for new action, and to a certain extent the handmaiden of encouragement and joy.

[...] She discussed various recent attitudes, ideas and actions, etc., and became somewhat excited talking about them. [...]

[...] But more than this, why not call all actions of the brain “altered” when compared to Seth’s concept of the individual personality’s whole self or entity?¹

So-called instinctual actions seem rather automatic to you because they are different from logical thought as you know it. Because for example bees or ants tend to act in a like manner as far as other bees and ants are concerned, because it appears that their actions are as predictable and almost predetermined, man takes it for granted that certain reflexes are absolutes in particular species, and that in any given situation a member of such a species will always react in a certain manner because he cannot help it.

[...] Responses to out-of-time events do not bring the infant recognition, approval, or action, however. [...]

[...] Evidently it’s a very long time ago; even in conventional paleontological terms, recent discoveries in East Africa place a toolmaking man in action 3 million years ago, with a lineage possibly going back 14 million years. [...]

[...] There is so much you must learn and remember in life, and so much you must spontaneously forget—otherwise, action itself would be relatively meaningless.

You perform far more actions in a day than you recall. [...]

(9:01.) In private living and in so-called evolutionary terms, however, life necessitates the intrusion of surprising events, unforeseen actions, leaps of insight or behavior that could not come alone from any accumulation of knowledge or simple conservation of energy, but seem to suggest entirely different new developments.

[...] It begins to sense within itself further frontiers and the possibilities for action. [...]

[...] The same thing with secondary personalities, so you can blame your actions on something else.”

[...] Jane said their actions made her feel bad, because it reminded her of when she’d had her own panic feelings, and people had tried to calm her down in her early days in the hospital. [...]

[...] The session and others dating from that time offers very good insights into Jane’s choice of actions over the years. [...]

[...] Probably no action on business affairs until after the holidays, which suits me fine. [...]

[...] But I found it at least roughly reminiscent of Seth’s idea of simultaneous time to watch the color broadcasts from different areas of the world each day, and then to mentally hold all of those actions, especially the backgrounds, in mind at once, visualizing them as simultaneous happenings at different places on the planet.

[...] All such incidents, I told Jane, reinforce individual actions on the part of readers that would be quite rejected by the establishment: further signs of how far outside accepted thought Jane has found herself over the years. [...] And of course the whole lengthy disclaimer bit for Mass Events beautifully sums up the situations: Even our own publisher seeks to protect itself from possible legal action because of the material within the Seth books. [...]

[...] I added that although we’d talked about doing so—and had even mentioned doing so in our letter to the legal department last December—I’d also felt that she wouldn’t stand for such an action. [...]

[...] However as he grows more familiar with me his strange actions will altogether cease. [...]

Jack Kennedy himself had a premonition of events and even in the midst of action he was prepared for death. [...]

As we mentioned in our last session, the personality cannot be considered alone, but it must be thought of in its relationship to action and to all those aspects of reality of which it is a part.

[...] At this time it is an impeding action, but it can be dissolved and resolved, according to our previous discussions.

[...] Within it, simultaneous actions follow “freely” through associative patterns. [...]

[...] It is also necessary that there is room for certain psychological actions and motions to change from one pattern to another. [...]

You remember this from our material on action and the personality. [...]

[...] The source self, sending out all assistance that it can, will still not attempt to override the conscious personality, for such actions would ultimately deny the conscious personality its powers of decision and control.
